You woke up still on Connor's shoulder as he slept, his head still on top of yours. You rubbed your (e/c) eyes and looked out the cave.
The sun was shining brightly and Kenya was nowhere to be seen. Where she was sitting was a note.
You gently left Connor and picked up the note, silently reading it.
Dear Connor and (y/n),
I headed back to the Homestead because I had a bad feeling, and I was right. I figured something out that was horrible and you have to hurry. I left you two in peace so you could sleep, and i came back to write this note. Come as soon as you can.
Yours truly,
Kenya Valdez.
You thought about what could be horrible and you shook Connor softly. "Connor.." You mumbled. He opened his eyes slowly and sat up.
You handed him the note and he silently read it. You gently grabbed your hand soon after and walked out the cave. "Connor, what if Kenya's pranking us?" You asked, knowing your Ex-Mentor/friend does a bit of humor.
Connor shook his head as you both got on your horse's. "I know Kenya. She would not lie if something happened. And if it was a prank, it would sound urgent and pleading, not plain and to the point." He said.
>>AT ZE HOMESTEAD<<
You jumped off your horse and looked at the four people standing outside the Homestead doorway.
Kenya was there, along with Natalie and Achilles' two grandchildren Michael and Lily. You walked up to them with Connor by your side. "So what happened, Kenya?" You asked. Kenya's eyes showed nothing but cold hatred and sadness, Natalie hung her head in defeat, Michael tapped his two small fingers together and Lily had her hands behind her back.
"What has happened?" Connor asked, feeling the need to butt in. Kenya walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. His eyes widened and he looked down.
"I don't understand.." You mumbled. Michael and Lily were giving a staring argument and Lily pushed Michael towards you. He grabbed your sleeve and tugged it, as if wanting you to follow him.
You nodded and he pulled you to Achilles' room. A doctor was in there packing his things up and about to leave.
Your ryes averted to the frail looking figure that was under the blankets. "Who's that?" You asked, but your heart knew who it was.
Michael pulled on you to bend down and you obeyed. Her stood on his toes and whispered in your ear, "Grandpa's dead.." Then started crying in your arms and into your (f/c) robes.
You shakily put your hands around him as tears almost spilled out your eyes. You picked up the 6 year old and walked out of the house.
Kenya took Michael gently from you and tried to calm him down. "(Y/n) are you alright?" Natalie asked, putting a hand on your shoulder.
Connor was looking at you, his brown eyes spilled with concern at you. You looked down and started sniffling. He walked up to you and looked at you, even if you weren't eye contact with him.
"N-No I'm not!" You cried, leaning into Connor and cried into his robes. He slowly and softly rested his hands on your back as you cried.
Memories with the old man flashed in your mind (no flashbacks now, i don't have enough time before i have to get off) as you cried.
You thought things couldn't get any worse....
You were wrong....
